What is a metamaterial?Metamaterials are materials that are specifically designed to have certain traits not found in nature. Typically engineered at the atomic level, metamaterials have very precise structures that alter the way they interact with either light or sound waves. Many uses for metamaterials have been theorized, including antennas, lenses, and sound filtering.

How can metamaterials be improved?While many metamaterials have been created, most are two dimensional. Some three dimensional metamaterials have been created, but few are easily scaled to large sizes. Additionally, while many uses have been theorized, few are in a form that is commercially available.
